NI 5160/5162 Configuring an Endpoint

To set properties on an endpoint, you must select that endpoint using the Active Channel property and the endpoint name FIFOEndpoint0.

Considerations When Configuring an Endpoint

Keep the following points in mind when configuring an endpoint:

  • Set the P2P Enabled property or the NISCOPE_ATTR_P2P_ENABLED attribute to TRUE to activate the P2P endpoint and to use any of the P2P features.
  • Use the Channels to Stream property or the NISCOPE_ATTR_P2P_CHANNELS_TO_STREAM to determine the specific data that is sent to an endpoint.
  • Use the Binary Sample Width property or the NISCOPE_ATTR_BINARY_SAMPLE_WIDTH attribute to set the sample width.
  • Call niScope Abort, niScope Close, or niScope Reset on the digitizer session to reset an endpoint.

On the NI 5160/62 all enabled channels are streamed over FIFOEndpoint0 when P2P is enabled.  Channels to Stream must be identical to the enabled channels, which is the default value.  Channels are interleaved in ascending order.
